Leonard Williams appears to be finally off the franchise tag and is staying in New York.

The New York Giants have reportedly signed the defensive tackle to a three-year, $63 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Williams was on a one-year franchise tag deal inked last season, but the two sides were finally able to come to terms on a multi-year agreement Tuesday.

The Giants acquired Williams from the crosstown New York Jets back in October of 2019.

He had 11.5 sacks and 57 tackles in 16 games for the Giants last season.

Williams, 26, was picked No. 6 overall by the Jets back in the 2015 NFL draft.
